TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC. 



This Work is prepared and published, with the hope that 
it may be found useful in conveying to the Traveller, cor- 
rect information in regard to the times, starting-points, fare, 
&c., of the different Railroad and Steamboat Lines, leaving 
the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and 
Washington ; forming together a route which may be called 
the great artery, or thoroughfare, of the principal political, 
commercial, and pleasure-seeking travel and intercourse of 
the Union. 

The Lines of Railroads, in connection with Lines of Steam- 
boats, have so increased, and are likely so to increase, in 
number and importance, that the travelling public, and the 
business community generally, require new and detailed in- 
formation respecting them, at shorter intervals than for- 
merly. To obtain this end, but small editions of this work 
will be published at a time, in hopes of making it, if favora- 
bly received, more full and useful in future editions. 

The Tables contained in this edition, have been prepared 
with the assistance of several agents of Railroad Companies 
and Steamboat proprietors ; and the information may be de- 
pended upon as being authentic, — subject, however, to 
change, both in rates of fare and times of leaving, at differ- 
ent seasons, which can be noted on the margin of this Guide. 

The Publisher would feel much obliged, if persons possess- 
ing information in regard to new arrangements, or additional 
routes of travel, would communicate the same to him, by 
letter, or otherwise.

GUIDE 

BETWEEN WASHINGTON, BALTIMORE, PHILADEL- 
PHIA, NEW YORK, AND BOSTON. 



THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, 

The seat of government of the United States, is on the left 
bank of the river Potomac, in latitude 38° 53' north ; being 
40 miles from Baltimore, 137 from Philadelphia, and 225 
miles from New York, by one continuous line of railroads. 

In 1790, Congress passed " An act for establishing the 
temporary and permanent seat of the Government of the 
United States," directing the new location to be styled, The 
District of Columbia. Pursuant to this act, Gen. Wash- 
ington, as President, selected this site for the seat of the 
Federal Government, and had the city laid out on a mag- 
nificent plan, suitable for the capital of a great and powerful 
nation. 

In 1800, Congress for the first time took up its permanent 
abode in the new district ; and in May, 1802, Washington 
was incorporated as a city, being governed by a Mayor and 
Board of Aldermen. It now contains a population of about 
30,000 inhabitants, and many splendid edifices. 

The avenues and streets are wide and airy, many of them 
lined with stores and commodious dwellings, and ornamented 
with beautiful shade-trees. The Avenues are named after 
the different states of the Union, and are from 120 to 160 
feet wide ; the other streets are from 70 to 110 feet wide. 
The ground on which the city is built, rises with a gentle 
acclivity from the river to the height of 50 to 100 feet above 
the tide waters of the Potomac. Only a small part of the 
extensive plan, however, is yet covered with buildings. 

The business of the city is principally confined to Penn- 
sylvania Avenue, between the Capitol and the President's 



10 CITY OF WASHINGTON. 

House. Omnibuses and other carriages are always to be 
found on tiiis street, offering a convenient mode of convey- 
ance between the distant points of the city. 

On the first arrival of the stranger at the city of Wash- 
ington, the fine situation and grand proportions of the Capitol 
of the Union, strike him with admiration. Its dome, rishig 
to the height of 230 feet above the tide waters of the Poto- 
mac, presents from its top a magnificent prospect, embracing 
the whole of the District of Columbia, an area of 10 miles 
square, and a large additional tract of the surrounding coun- 
try, with the meanderings of the river, and the Chesapeake 
and Ohio Canal. 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS 

The Capitol of the United States is a lofty and com- 
manding edifice, surrounded by beautiful grounds of about 
22 acres in extent, the whole enclosed by a substantial iron 
fence. The building alone covers upwards of an acre and a 
half, and was finished in 1827, at a total cost of $1,746,718. 
The interior finish is in many respects gorgeous and well 
adapted for public purposes. 

The President's House, one mile west of the Capitol, is 
an object of interest, and a place of great resort both for 
strangers visiting the metropolis, and for politicians. The 
mansion is 170 feet front, 86 feet deep, and two stories high, 
constructed of white freestone, with Ionic pilasters. It is 
surrounded by twenty acres of ground, laid out with taste, 
and planted in part with forest trees and shrubbery. 

The Treasury Building, located on Fifteenth street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, is a noble structure, 457 feet long. 
The colonnade in front is very imposing, being the entire 
length of the building, consisting of thirty-one large fluted 
columns, in the style of the temple of Minerva Polios, at 
Athens. 

The buildings devoted to the Departments of State, War, 
and the Navy, are but indifferent edifices, built of brick. 
They stand near the President's House, at convenient dis- 
tances apart for all business purposes. The rooms of the 
several Secretaries, and other officers, are furnished plainly, 
but with appropriate neatness. 

The General Post Office is a beautiful marble building, 
of the Corinthian style of architecture. It contains eighty 
rooms, and is well arranged for .the purposes of the Depart- 



CITY OF WASHINGTON. 11 

ment. It stands on E street, about equidistant from the 
Capitol and the President's House. 

The Patent Office has become the mcst interesting de- 
pository in the Union. The building stands on F street, and 
is 280 feet long, 70 feet deep, and two stories high, with a 
basement. The first floor and basement contain each one 
large room, for models,and eight smaller ones, for offices, &c. 

The upper floor, in one room, 275 feet by 65, is occupied 
by the " National Institution for the Promotion of Science." 
This is considered one of the most splendid rooms in America, 
and now contains an array of choice specimens of art and 
curiosities of nature, unrivalled on the continent. The noble 
collection contributed by the South Sea Exploring Expedi- 
tion, alone constitutes a powerful attraction, — all of which 
is thrown open to the public free of charge. 

The Green-house, in the rear of the above building, also 
attracts great attention, and is well worth visiting. 

The models of mechanical genius and art, and the natural 
curiosities here deposited, in the same building, together with 
the statuary and paintings in the rotunda of the Capitol, 
alone render Washington a place of great interest at all sea- 
sons of the year. 

The United States Observatory, situated on an emi- 
nence, about one mile west of the President's House, near 
Georgetown, is well worthy of a visit. From the top is af- 
forded a view of great extent and interest, embracing the 
city of Washington, Georgetown, the Potomac river, and 
the surrounding country for many miles. 

The United States Navy Yard, about one mile east of 
the Capitol, is a place of much national interest and im- 
portance, where may usually be seen armed vessels of a 
large class. 

The Washington Arsenal stands on Greenleaf 's Point, 
one mile south of the Capitol. It is on a commanding posi- 
tion, occupying a tract of land about a quarter of a mile 
square, being surrounded by water on three sides, presenting 
a fine appearance from the river and adjoining shores. Here 
are located several buildings for the use of the officers and 
soldiers ; magazines, storehouses, and workshops. 

The other public buildings arc, the City Hall, Jail, Pen- 
itentiary, and four Markets. 



12 CITY OF WASHINGTON". 



COLUMBIAN COLLEGE, 

Incorporated in 1821, by an act of Congress, is delightfully 
situated on the high range of ground north of the President's 
House. The buildings are, a college edifice of five stories, 
including the basement and attic ; two dwelling-houses, for 
Professors, and a philosophical hall — all of brick. 



ROMAN CATHOLIC COLLEGE, 

Georgetown, which lies contiguous to Washington, is tlie 
seat of the ancient college belonging to the Catholics, under 
the direction of the Jesuits ; who have here also a nunnery, 
and other seminaries of learning. 

CHURCHES. 

There are 30 churches in Washington, most of which are 
plain edifices, as follows: — 5 Episcopal, 4 Baptist, 4 Presby- 
terian, 6 Methodist, 3 Roman Catholic, 2 Lutheran, 1 Uni- 
tarian, 1 Friends' Meeting-house, and 4 African churches.

VICINITY OF WASHINGTON. 13 



VICINITY OF WASHINGTON. 

Georgetown, situated three miles west of the Capitol, is 
at the head of navigation on the Potomac river, and is a port 
of entry, where centres a large amount of business. It con- 
tained, in 1840, 7,712 inhabitants. Many members of Con- 
gress, and others, connected with the government, reside 
here, it being of easy access, by means of carriages and om- 
nibuses. The Heights of Georgetoion are well worth 
visiting. From this eminence can be seen the cities of 
Georgetown and Washington — the Potomac river, and the 
Chesapeake and Ohio canal, — the aqueduct and the bridge 
across the river, — and the surrounding country. 

Alexandria, situated on the south bank of the Potomac, 
seven miles south of the Capitol, and about 180 miles from 
the ocean, is an old and interesting city, and a place of con- 
siderable trade. The population in 1840, was 8,459. Here 
Gen. Braddock, in 1755, organized his army for the west; 
and here Washington, the father of the future republic, not 
only made himself distinguished, in his early years, but cir- 
cumstances of a peculiar nature produced a mutual attach- 
ment, which led him to say, in writing from Yorktown, that, 
" Amidst all the vicissitudes of time and fortune, he should 
ever regard with particular affection, the citizens and inhab- 
itants of Alexandria." The Museum at this place is well 
worthy attention, as it contains many personal relics of Gen. 
Washington, as well as a large and valuable collection of 
specimens in natural history. 

A steamboat runs several times daily between Washington 
and Alexandria — fare 12^ cents, — affording a delightful ex- 
cursion in pleasant weather. 

Mount Vernon, eight miles below Alexandria, on the 
Virginia side of the Potomac, is a spot that will always be 
held in veneration by the American public, as being the fa- 
vorite place of residence of Washington, while living, and as 
now containing his remains, which are here entombed. This 
spot ought to belong to the nation, and be so regulated, that 
all admirers of noble deeds, and pure and lofty principles, 
might here perform a pilgrimage.

On leaving Washington for Baltimore, by railroad, a dis- 
tance of 40 miles, (fare ^1.60,) the cars start from the depot 
near the Capitol, and run in a northeasterly direction to 

Bladensburg, Md., 6 miles. This is an ancient place, on 
the eastern branch of the Potomac. It is celebrated as the 
scene of an engagement, during the last war with Great 
Britain, in which the Americans being defeated and dis- 
persed, the enemy marched on to Washington, which fell 
into their hands. 

The Annapolis Railroad commences 20 miles from 
Washington, and diverges easterly to Annapolis, the capital 
of the state of Maryland, which is about 40 miles, by rail- 
road, from Washington and Baltimore. 

Elkridge Landing, 11 miles farther, is an old settlement, 
situated on the south bank of the Patapsco river. The via- 
duct which crosses the river near this place, and sustains the 
railroad track, is a splendid piece of masonry. 

The Relay House, 32 miles from Washington, and 8 
from Baltimore, stands at the point where diverges the 
branch railroad to the former place. The main track of the 
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which is finished to Cum- 
berland, a distance of 178 miles, is now passed over in going 
to Baltimore. At the Depot in Pratt street, the terminus 
of the great work above named, commences the railroad to 
Philadelphia, a distance of 97 miles. 



15 



BALTIMORE, 

The principal city of Maryland, and the third in population 
in the Union, is advantag'eously situated upon the northwest 
branch of the Patapsco river, about 14 miles from the en- 
trance of the main branch into Chesapeake bay. The har- 
bor is safe and capacious, of a depth sufficient to float ships 
of the largest class. This place was first settled in 1729, 
when it took the name of Baltimore, " in compliment to 
the Proprietary, whose ancestor took the title of Baron from 
a seaport of the same name in Ireland." In 1796, a city 
charter was granted by the legislature of the state ; it then 
contained about 20,000 inhabitants. In 1840, the popula- 
tion of the city was 102,513. 

The rapid growth of Baltimore in wealth and numbers, 
has been principally owing to its great natural advantages, 
and the enterprise of its inhabitants. It is about 200 miles 
from the ocean, and 300 miles from the navigable waters of 
the Ohio river, — this being the most accessible point of com- 
munication between the seaboard and the great valley of the 
Mississippi. The completion of the Baltimore and Ohio 
Railroad will always secure to this place a fair proportion 
of the trade of the west. The streets are mostly laid out at 
right angles, and the public buildings, stores, and dwellings 
are principally constructed of brick, in a neat and durable 
style. This place is noted for its monuments and shot-towers, 
which rise to a great height. Here also are constructed some 
of the finest and fastest sailing vessels that bear the Amer- 
ican flag, — the " Baltimore Clippers" being admired by all 
naval architects. This is a great mart for all kinds of West 
India goods, lumber, wheat, and tobacco, the latter articles 
being exported in large quantities. 

Fort M'Henry, situated on a point of land 2 miles below 
the centre of the city, is a strong fortification.

RAILROAD ANL» STEAMBOAT ROUTES. 19 



ROUTES BETWEEN BALTIMORE & PHILADELPHIA. 

The traveller, during the season of navigation, has a choice 
of two routes between Baltimore and Philadelphia ; first, by 
steamboat and railroad route, passuig through Chesapeake 
bay, and crossing the state of Delaware, from Frenchtown 
to New Castle, 16 miles, by railroad, — thence up the Dela- 
ware river to Philadelphia ; second, by one continuous line 
of railroad, starting from the depot in Pratt st., Baltimore, 
and crossing the Susquehanna river at Havre de Grace by 
a steam ferry, — thence continuing through the states of Ma- 
ryland and Delaware, into Pennsylvania, crossing the 
Schuylkill river at Gray's Ferry, 3 miles from the depot in 
Market st., Phiiadelphiar 



STEAMBOAT ROUTE 
BETWEEN BALTIMORE AND NORFOLK, VA. 

A line of steamboats leave Spears's wharf, Baltimore, at 4 
o'clock, P. M., daily, Sundays excepted, for Norfolk, Va., 
running through Chesapeake bay. 

From Norfolk passengers are conveyed by steamboat up 
James river to City Point, thence by railroad to Petersburg, 
Va., connecting, at the latter place, with the great line of 
inland travel between Baltimore and Charleston, S. C. Fare 
through from Baltimore, $21. 

RAILROAD ROUTE 
FROM BALTIMORE TO PHILADELPHIA. 

On leaving Baltimore for Philadelphia, 97 miles, by rail- 
road, (fare, ^3,) the cars start from the depot in Pratt st., 
and run to 

Canton, 3 miles. Here is afforded a fine view of the har- 
bor of Baltimore, and Fort M' Henry, situated on the south 
shore, 

Stemmer's Run, 10^ miles from Baltimore, is the next 
stopping place. 

Gunpowder Depot, 20 miles, is on the north side of the 
stream of the same name, which forms a wide branch 
or arm of Chesapeake bay, being about 1 mile across. Du-

ring cold weather, here are usually found large quantities of 
ducks of various kinds, which frequent the waters of the 
Chesapeake. The most celebrated for their delicacy and 
tine flavor, are the canvass-backs and red-necks ; then come 
the blue-wings, the shufflers, and the teal. The first are 
said to feed on wild celery, which gives them their peculiar 
flavor, so much esteemed by epicures. 

Bush River, 8 miles further, is another wide stream, 
crossed by a railroad bridge, elevated a few feet above the 
water. 

Havre de Grace, 37 miles from Baltimore, and €0 miles 
from Philadelphia, is a place of considerable importance. 
Here the Susquehanna river, about half a mile wide, is 
crossed by means of a large steam ferry-boat. The baggage 
cars are run on top, while the passengers change cars, and 
pass over the river in a spacious cabin, or saloon, where re- 
freshments are usually furnished. About 15 njinutes are 
taken up in crossing the river, giving time for a hasty meal. 

Northeast, 9 miles from Havre de Grace, is passed on 
the right, a short distance from the road. 

Elkton, 52 miles from Baltimore, and 45 miles from 
Philadelphia, is situated on the west side of Elk river, which 
is navigable to this place. 

Newark, Del., 6 miles further, is a pleasant place, situated 
a short distance west of the railroad. 

Newport, 8 miles further, is a scattered settlement. 

Wilmington, 70 miles from Baltimore, and 27 from Phil- 
adelphia, is situated on Christiana creek, a navigable tribu- 
tary of the Delaware river, or bay, and 3 miles above its 
confluence. This is the principal place in the state of Del- 
aware, both in numbers and commercial importance, and is 
rapidly increasing. The population in 1840, was 8,367. A 
steamboat runs daily between Wilmington and Philadelphia. 

About one mile north of Wilmington, the railroad crosses 
Brandywine creek, near the scene of a sanguinary battle 
between the Americans and English during the revolu- 
tionary war. 

Marcus Hook, Penn., 10 miles from Wilmington, is pleas- 
antly situated on the west bank of the Delaware, which is 
here about one mile wide. 

Chester, 3 miles further, is another pleasant village, and 
has a steamboat landing. 

The Lazaretto for Philadelphia, situated near the river, 
is next passed on the right. 



PHILADELPHIA. 21 

Fort Mifflix, 2 or 3 miles further noi-th, is situated on 
an island, and commands the approach to Philadelphia by 
water. 

Gray's Ferry, across the Schujikill, where is now erect- 
ed a bridge, is 3 miles from Pliiladelpliia. Here it is usual 
for the locomotive to stop, the passenger cars being drawn 
into the city by horse power. 

On the approach to Philadelphia from this quarter, can be 
seen the Almshouse for the city and county, situated on tlie 
west side of Schuylkill river ; the U. S. Arsenal and Marivp. 
Hospital, on the east side ; the Eastern Penitentiary, and 
Girurd's College in the distance, towards the north. From 
the top of the last building, which is a truly noble structure, 
may be seen the city of Philadelphia and the surrounding 
country', to great advantage. 



PHILADELPHIA 



Philadelphia, 88 jiiiles from New York, 97 miles frora 
Baltimore, and 137 miles from Washington, in lat. 39° 56' 
51" N., and long. 1° 46' 30" E. from Washington, ranks, in 
extent, population, trade, and general importance, as the sec- 
ond city in the Union. Its principal front is on the west 
bank of the Delaware river, 105 miles above the mouth of 
Delaware bay, and it extends back 2 miles to the river 
Schuylkill. The largest ships can come up to Philadelphia, 
from which the distance across the Delaware, to Camden, 
N. J., is about one mile. The Schuylkill unites with the 
Delaware about 7 miles below the city, and is navigable for 
brigs and schooners as far up as the permanent bridge, where 
it is about 500 feet wide. Philadelphia is laid out with great 
regularity, with numerous squares, and with streets which 
cross each other at right angles. The city proper, consid- 
ered as distinct from its adjoining suburbs, is bounded, north 
by Vine st., and south by Cedar st. The suburbs called 
Kensington, the Northern Liberties, and Spring Garden, on 
the north side, and Southwark and Moyamensing on the 
south side, occupy, with the city proper, a compactly built 
area of 3 square miles, containing, in 1840, a population of 
220,423 souls. The streets, the principal ones 112 feet wide, 
and the subordinate ones 50 feet wide, are generally weli

paved, and bordered by roomy side-walks laid with brick, 
all kept remarkably clean. The houses, generally of brick, 
with white marble steps, and window-sills, and lintels, are 
very uniform and commodious, and present an aspect of un- 
usual neatness, elegance, and comfort. Chesnut and Arch 
streets are among the most agreeable promenades in the 
United States. 

The business of the city, especially its foreign and coast- 
ing trade, is transacted chiefly on the Delaware side ; though, 
since the great development of the coal trade of the interior, 
by means of canals and the improvement of the Schuylkill, 
wharves and warehouses have been much extended on that 
side ; and these improvements, in connection with the rail- 
road made by the state from Philadelphia to Columbia, and 
with the Reading and Pottsville railroad, have contributed 
largely to the extension of all the western section of the 
city. 

The number of houses for public worship, of the various 
denominations, is about 150, and though generally built in 
plain and simple style, they are very neat, and some of them 
elegant and costly. Philadelphia is honorably distinguished 
for the philanthropic spirit of its inhabitants, and for the num- 
ber and judicious management of its charitable institutions. 
Among these, the Pennsylvania Hospital, the various Dis- 
pensaries, the Almshouses, Orphan Asylums, Institutions for 
the Deaf and Dumb, the Lunatic Asylum, the Humane So- 
ciety, the Savings-fund Society, and various other moral, 
religious, and benevolent establishments, are particularly 
worthy of notice. The institutions for the promotion of lit- 
erature, science, and the arts, are also on a highly respecta- 
ble footing. Among the most prominent and useful of these, 
are the University of Pennsylvania, the Athenaeum, the 
Philosophical Society, the Academy of Fine Arts, the Acad- 
emy of Natural Science, the Franklin Institute, several Li- 
braries, the Medical Society, the College of Physicians, the 
College of Pharmacy, the Musical Fund Society, JefFersou 
Medical College, a Law Academy, &.c. «&c. 

The literary journals, and the daily and weekly newspa- 
pers, are numerous and of respectable character. The city 
can also boast of some of the largest publishing houses in the 
Union ; and its educational means, including not only the 
ordinary schools, but the higher institutions, for professional 
as well as general literature, are ample. But the most re- 
markable institution in the city, both for the extent of its en-

dowment, and the magnificence of its principal edifice, is the 
Girard College, constructed of white marble, in the richest 
stjle of architecture, and adorned with columns of the most 
superb and costly workmanship. This edifice is 218 feet by 
160 feet ; and four other buildings, also of marble, are asso- 
ciated with it, each 125 feet by 52 feet, for the accommoda- 
tion of professors and pupils. The College grounds form a 
handsome area of 45 acres, pleasantly situated on the Ridge 
road, about 2 miles from the centre of the city. On the 
southern front of the principal edifice, the name and object 
of the institution are inscribed, in these words : " Girard Col- 
lege for Orphans, founded A. D. 1833. Southern portico 
finished, 1844."

mansion, surrounded by extensive and highly ornamented 
grounds, which still belong to the family. 

The city of Treatox, 29 miles from Philadelphia, and .59

founded in 1770, and has a president, 10 professors, and be- 
tween 80 and 90 students. The Delaware and Raritan 
Canal commences at New Brunswick, and runs through 
Trenton to Bordentown, a distance of 42 miles, affording a 
safe water communication between the cities of New York 
and Philadelphia.

residence. The public buildings are, a court-house and 
jail ; 17 churches, several of them being handsome and 
costly edifices ; 3 banking-houses, and 3 insurance compa- 
nies. The trade and navigation of Newark is large and in- 
creasing, there being here owned between 60 and 70 vessels, 
engaged in the coasting trade, besides some whale-ships. 
The manufacture of articles of leather, and of carriages, is 
very extensive, employing a capital of about ^500,000, and 
several hundred mechanics. In addition to the New Jersey 
Railroad, which passes through the city, the Morris and 
Essex Railroad commences at this place, and extends to 
Morristown, 22 miles. The Morris Canal also runs through 
the city, in its route from Jersey City to the Delaware river.

ROUTES BETWEEN NEW YORK AND BOSTON. 

There are now four great lines of travel between the 
cities of New York and Boston. 

1st. By the Long Island Railroad, commencing at 
Brooklyn, and running to Greenport, near the eastern ex- 
tremity of Long Island, — therce by steamboat, 32 miles, to 
Allyn's Point, from which place f\- railroad extends through 
Norwich, Ct., to Worcester, Mass., and thence to Boston. 

2d. By line of steamboats, leaving New York from the foot 
of Battel y Place, and running through Long Island Sound to 
Stonington, — thence by railroad through Providence, R. I., 
to Boston. 

A line of steamboats, also, during the season of naviga- 
tion, runs direct to Newport and Providence, connecting, at 
the latter place, with the cars of the Boston and Providence 
Railroad. 

3d. A line of steamboats leave New York, from Pier 
No. 1, North river, for New London and Allyn's Point, con- 
necting, at the latter place, with the cars running through 
Norwich and Worcester, to Boston. 

4th. Another line of travel is atibrded by a line of steam- 
boats, leaving New York, from Peck Slip, for New Haven, 
— thence by railroad through Hartford and Springfield to 
Worcester, and thence to Boston. When the contemplated 
railroad from the city of New York to New Haven is com- 
pleted, this route will afford the most speedy mode of con- 
veyance between the two cities. 

For further information, see Tables of Distances, &c. 



WINTER ROUTE BETWEEN NEW YORK AND 
ALBANY. 

During the close of navigation, passengers are conveyed 
by the Steamboat and Railroad Line running through Long

Stages are in readiness, on the arrival of trains at the sev- 
eral stations, to take passengers, at low fares, to all parts of 
Long Island. A steamboat, also, leaves Greenport for Sag 
Harbor, on the arrival of the cars. 



This is the most expeditious and varied route, in regard 
to scenery, &c., of any between the cities of New York 
and Boston. The steamboat route from Greenport to 
Stonington, or Allyn's Point, is deeply interesting, affording 
a view of the shores of Long Island, Connecticut, Long 
Island Sound, and the broad Atlantic ocean. Passengers 
usually take their meals on board the steamboat, it being two 
hours' run.
